Well we got our feet wet in that first half.
Now we’ll need Sailors for this End Of Summer Cruise.
Any volunteers?
A good short set about Sailing to open, followed by probably the cheapest way to Ride The…

It was a very hot Summer this year, hitting the 90’s far to often for me.
Add in the humidity and I want out!
It’s always cooler by the Water, so for this last week of the Summer, I invite you on an End Of Summer Cruise, using Music as our proxy means of…

As a nation we have grown so divided it saddens me.
We were so united in those days following the attacks by fanatic muslim terrorists.
It’s New York City Songs for us who got slammed, and it’s my home.
That…

Once again, I was surprised to see September 11th falling on a Tuesday, the day of the show, when it is broadcast terrestrially over the airwaves.
Over the years for September 11th, I have explained that although the Pentagon was struck, songs about Washington D.C. are not many, and the ones you do come…

Side Two is all ready to go.
And I went off on why I like the song Helplessly Hoping so much.
Besides all the alliterations included in it, there is that chorus...oh that chorus!
Brilliant to me, always loved the song,…

I did this show August 2009- and it was a hot, sticky August day in New York City.
After having taken the bus and train to get to the Radio Station, the traditional hard candy for non-talking I kept in my pocket was indeed melting!
It seemed to Engineer Ken…

I'll finish that album, With The Beatles, right away.
I still can't get over the fact that album was released on the day President Kennedy was assassinated!
Then I'll move on to what was the cause of much confusion and many differences over here in the…

Here's a now-and-then series I started in February 2011, Covered By The Beatles.
As you should be aware, the Beatles put many older Rock & Roll songs, mainly from America, on their early albums and EP's.
So the simple idea is to play the Beatles Cover Version…

This is it, the Closer for Building A House With Song.
And I am still blaming that other guy, that Jack guy- HE did it...it wasn't me, lol!
The House We Have Built Is Completed And Is Home!
It may have its imperfections,…

The House We Have Built Has Become A Home!
There are a couple of things I discovered doing this Building A House With Song Series.
First, this was tougher than I expected;
And also, while I thought it would be…

While I was listening to the songs I was playing in the first half hour of this show, I thought of a couple of Oldies that might also fit that mini-topic.
So at the break, I ran over and picked out a couple.
They may not be Poets, but they could get their point…

I will start this Chapter with a song about something a few people wrote me and suggested we should have.
Hint: it is built to be Outside.
Don't really know why we need one, I wouldn't want to use it, lol!
Then it is on…

I’ll start this Chapter with a Cover Song that did better on the Charts than the Original, and a Sax in there you may have forgotten.
Sax And The City moves on with an unusual Instrumental co-written by the unlikely pairing of Duane Eddy and Ravi Shankar!
Really,…

We interrupt the House Building to return to Sax And The City, lol!
I was filling in Time, and I will return to that Housebuilding Theme as well.
Time is Precious- just ask Van The Man!

The Roof is finished, and we included an Attic while we were up there.
Building A House With Song- now it is time to start filling in this Shell of a Structure with Rooms.
And one Room that at various times is VERY important is a Bathroom!…

Well, we have made great progress in the last week with Building A House.
Since you build from the bottom up, we are putting the Finishing Touches on the Roof.
And I will be getting serious on you with some of the Song Selections.…

I am attempting to Build A House With Song, and it seems the next logical step would be...well, what is it that Real Estate people say?
Location...Location...Location...it's time for Choosing A Location.
Let's look around- maybe a House In The…

Now THIS is a challenge!
And one I have been thinking about for years.
To try and take Music and use it to Build A House!
While I always knew how I would begin, and a few stops along the way, with this Series I truly do…

I’ll start this Chapter with a Suggested Song.
And even for Rockollections or Sax And The City, there are suggestions, and there are those that carry a certain weight, lol!
Then a trip back in time for some surprises with Sneaky Sax Songs- you may not have paid…

It’s Sax And The City, with Songs that prominently contain or feature Saxophone.
I have spoken before about how I place a great emphasis on Songs that Begin and End Series- it’s a chance to set the mood and/or close by saying something via the Western Union Telegram that is Music.…
